Thank you for sharing your Buzee with the world.

(For your next project, may I suggest double checking if the name overlaps with any colorful slang?)

I named Buzee after my pet dog. I guess I am unaware of what you’re referring to, English isn’t my native language after all. Hope it isn’t a slur or something!

It might be somewhat localized. English is my first language and I’ve never heard this slang.

Makes sense!

I’d presume they’re referring to boozy (like booze/liquor) but not sure if that’d qualify as “colorful slang”

None of the people I dm'd didn't notice it :( a buzee packed full of docs is likely a cautionary tale about the costs of homogeneous tech communities.

Code's great though. Love the trend of svelte used in desktop-focused apps.

There's an offensive term in UD for every vaguely pronounceable thing - that's not even spelt the same.

Made an account just to expand your Hungarian knowledge :). Around here "buzi" is a slur for "gay".

What's the overlap? (I asked Claude and ChatGPT and neither of them could figure it out.)

Omg hi Simon! Big fan. Your work on datasette and generally using SQLite for solving problems was one of my main motivations behind Buzee. Thank you for all your work and for documenting it all!

'Buzee' pronounced as 'boozey' (from the readme) is a similar to a common slang term for intoxicated or alcohol-related.

I assume it’s intentional.
